Allrounder Roston Chase was named the West Indies Test captain on Friday even though he hasn바카라t played a test in more than two years.
The 33-year-old Chase replaces 32-year-old Kraigg Brathwaite, who resigned from the job in March after three years.
Chase will lead West Indies in three home Tests against Australia in June and July. The first Test in Bridgetown on Chase바카라s home island of Barbados will also be his 50th since his Test debut in 2016.
The 1.96-meter (6-foot-5) off-spinner has taken 85 wickets at 46, and as a middle-order bat has scored more than 2,200 runs at 26, including five hundreds.
His best bowling effort was 8-60 against England in the second innings of a 381-run win in 2019 at his Bridgetown home ground.
Chase was shortlisted for the captaincy with John Campbell, Tevin Imlach, Joshua Da Silva, Justin Greaves and Jomel Warrican. Shai Hope, the one-day and T20I captain, declined to be considered.
West Indies officials said they conducted detailed assessments of tactical approach, leadership style, communication skills and behavior before choosing Chase.
바카라Our new captain has earned the respect of his peers, understands the responsibility that comes with the role, and has shown the leadership qualities we need to take this team forward,바카라 coach Daren Sammy said in a statement. 바카라I urge fans across the region to rally behind him 바카라 we바카라re building something special.바카라
